I noticed that too and was going to have a go at fixing that. No need to
run convert multiple times on all those identical tiles too.

I was more interested in getting the whole render process together on
myrunning localhost. local machine so that I could experiment with
tidying some bits of the process, e.g. the blank tile handling above or
seeing if the renderingrunning localhost. process can be made even
faster.

Plus it is great to be able to have a nice big fast rendered map running
locally with no lag.
